When letting fuel rods drop by gravity, means must be provided for absorbing the shock, so that they are not broken by their fall. Use of viscous material may soil the inside of the reactor; metallic cushioning may cause uncontrollable rebound. The difficulties are overcome by a number of guiding chutes running along the end face of the moderator block passing slightly below, and parallel to, an inclined row of the channel discharge ends. Further chutes associated with the reactor shield connect the lower ends with the exterior of the reactor.
